How else could I get financial support?

If you are struggling financially, your local authority may be able to help. Local councils or community organisations often have rent deposit schemes or a rent guarantee scheme that could help you with any potential costs.

Each authority and scheme has its own eligibility criteria, which you can check here.

Or you may also be entitled to financial help via Housing Benefit or Universal Credit.

You can click on the link here to find out if you may be eligible for this.
